Chapter 68: Pistol Company, Here It Is

"According to what you said, I will give you the pistol company of the 2nd Division for the time being, and it will be under your unified command." The lieutenant general's eyes lit up and he made the final decision. "Also, I'll send 8 gunners to follow the pistol company. But you have to promise me that after firing artillery at the Japanese position, you will not be allowed to fight. ”

There was pain in his eyes, but he still gave Liu Lang a sonorous order: "If you don't have time, the cannon will be blown up by Lao Tzu, and no one will be left." You can bring back as many brothers as you can for Lao Tzu, whether they are dead or alive, have you heard? ”

"Yes, Liu Lang is under the command of the chief." Liu Lang stood up and led the order.

The lieutenant general looked at Liu Lang, didn't speak again for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "Captain Liu, no matter whether your plan can succeed or not, I, Liu Ruming, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Second Temporary Division, thank you and all the officers and men of the death squad!" Tell them on my behalf. ”

As he spoke, this dignified lieutenant general and division commander stood up and solemnly gave Liu Lang a military salute.

Liu Lang hurriedly raised his hand and returned the salute, with a serious face: "Please rest assured, the two commanders, the death squad from Liu Lang down, should take this as the goal, and do not hesitate to do so!" ”

"Good!" Liu Ruming snorted. "On the night of your operation, I should go to the front line of the Luowenyu Pass with Jingtian, as long as your shells can successfully smash into the Japanese infantry position, then I will transfer troops to attack the Japanese invaders according to the battle situation, so that they do not dare to return to reinforce the artillery positions on a large scale."

"Thank you, sir!" Liu Lang's face welled up with excitement.

This lieutenant general of the army did not support him a lot, not only sending a battalion and a company to assist him in raiding the Japanese artillery positions, but also going to the front line in person.

You must know that the 29th Army defended Xifengkou, and only on the first day, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was not firmly established, only a mixed brigade arrived before organizing 2,000 death squads to take advantage of the night to carry out a counterattack.

However, he was able to promise Liu Lang that he would send troops to attack the main force of the Japanese infantry, which also required great courage and determination. In case of tactical mistakes and the loss of the Luo Wenyu Pass, not only will he, the lieutenant general, lose his head, but also the lives of more than 5,000 Chinese soldiers will be lost here.

Remember the URL mom

Since the decision was made, the lieutenant general of the army did not drag his feet, and immediately ordered Captain He Guangqi, the commander of the pistol company of the 2nd Division, to come to the division headquarters to meet Liu Lang.

It was a simple northern man, with a face that looked far older than his 28-year-old age, although he had never met, but Liu Lang had seen this name in the history of war.

As soon as he heard that this self-introduction, Liu Lang, as an officer at the same level and a friendly army, directly "snapped" and gave this a standing salute, which startled this person and gave Liu Lang a salute in a hurry, not to mention it, and also stunned the two generals.

These two are also people who have read countless people, but it can be seen that Liu Lang can't look like a ruffian on the surface, but in fact, he is extremely proud in his bones, especially for the feelings of the country and the nation, which is absolutely extremely rare.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to promote such a near-death mission. You must know that his order for the promotion of the rank of major has been placed on the desk of the military department, and the big seal of the military department has been stamped.

Such a proud person, even the two generals are in a near-equal position to communicate, but he has so much respect for a captain and company commander, why is this? Could it be that the two of them had some intersection before? It's just that, looking at Lian Commander He's expression, he is also very confused!

The two generals are very accurate, but they are not Zhuge Kongming who can count five hundred years later.

Of course, they would not know why Liu Lang would have such respect for this officer of the same rank.

Because he was one of the company commanders who died in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.

Although the history of the war does not record the reasons for his death in detail, it is inextricably linked to Liu Ruming's personal presence on the front line when the war was fierce. Otherwise, how could a guard company commander who was in charge of the supreme commander of the 2nd Guard Division be easily sacrificed?

Liu Lang's gift is to pay tribute to the former national defenders.

All those who gave their lives and their future for this war of resistance to aggression deserve his respect, and not because of his rank.

As the commander of the guard company, He Guangqi is naturally a trustworthy person, so Liu Lang carefully explained his battle plan to this one again on the map, and re-explained the key points that had not been explained in too much detail to the two generals on the map.

For example, the terrain and the position that the pistol company needs to reach, the pistol company will go to the field early tomorrow morning to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance and determine the route to prevent it from getting lost at night and not being able to arrive at the battlefield at the specified time.

If Liu Lang's side is all dry, and the pistol company is still wandering around in the mountains, then it will be a lot of fun.

This is not Liu Lang's unfounded worries, in the history of Chinese wars, this kind of thing happened like a carp crossing the river is countless. Even in the next few decades, it is not uncommon for modern armies to get lost without satellite navigation.

Of course, after discussing all the details, the most important thing is that the two sides agree on the information to launch the attack and the secret password for the two sides to reconcile.

Although the uniforms are all dark blue, the Japanese army is earthy yellow, but if there is no moon that day, it is pitch black, who knows who is on the other side, under the high tension, it is inevitable that a shuttle will sweep over, and it will definitely be extremely sad to die not on the battlefield against the enemy but under the guns of his own people.

As long as he saw a red signal flare, the pistol company launched an attack on the Japanese infantry position, dragging its infantry back and unable to return to help, and the officers and men of the death squad ambushed on both flanks broke through the Japanese flanks when the pistol company fired red signal flares to suppress the fire with all their might.

In order to be easily recognizable in the night, everyone except for the password wrapped a white towel around their arms.

As for the password set by Liu Lang himself, the two generals and the captain and company commander opened their mouths for a while, but they didn't find any reason to refute it.

What others are saying about "Yangtze River" vs. "Yellow River", and "China" vs. "Victory", they are mighty and domineering when they hear it.

As a result, this one is good, and the password is "spicy and numb!" ", reply to the password "to bloom!" It is also specially stipulated that it is shouted in the hometown dialect, and the more earthy the better.

When I thought of Shaanxi people shouting, "Spicy lump numb!" "The Shanxi people over there replied" to bloom! These two sentences of scolding on the Jiangnan side that have been changed to nondescript are painful for the two generals.

But don't say it, this password is not so powerful, but it should be quite useful.

It is estimated that the Japanese, who are proficient in Chinese, have to pretend to shout this, and that strange tone can immediately attract a bunch of bullets to beat him into tofu scum.

By the time everything was discussed, it was 2 a.m.

Liu Lang left with He Datou, and took advantage of the cooking class to prepare supper for the two generals who stayed up late, and took away two hundred buns by the way.

Two strong men, one carrying a bag! Coupled with the equipment of their whole bodies, one person can carry more than 30 pounds.

In Lang Fat's statement with a bit of gloom: In the next few days, the entire death squad may only be able to feed on cold fried rice, and when he thinks that the injured brother can only eat this, Liu Lang can't bear it!

It's said that this is the part, what else do the two generals have to say, it's not that the cooking class has ready-made buns, let them take as many buns as they want?

It wasn't until Liu Lang and the others didn't know how far they had gone that the lieutenant general slapped his thigh fiercely: "Oh, what a shit, Lao Tzu was deceived by this guy." ”
